  The SealSkinz® Ultra Light Sock is an ideal sock for riders who prefer a lower cuff length and slightly lighter construction to SealSkinz's popular Mid Light Sock. Wind, waterproof and breathable, the intelligent midlayer membrane keeps the elements at bay whilst a Coolmax® lining provides all day on the bike comfort. The Ultra Light Sock is completed with the an outer acrylic and elastane layer that cushions the foot. After riding all day in the wet and cold, get ready to be amazed when you remove your socks to reveal completely dry feet.
 Based in the UK, SealSkinz® have have neatly solved the problem faced by every cyclist who rides in the rain; that of cold and wet hands and feet. Thanks to their patented membrane system, SealSkinz® socks and gloves are fully wind and waterproof, yet so completely normal to the touch that you would think nothing special was going on at all. How does it work? SealSkinz® socks and gloves use a type of membrane called hydrophilic ("water loving"). Hydrophilic membranes are totally solid, without pores. It is therefore physically impossible for droplets of liquid water to pass through the membrane, however, it is breathable because water vapour molecules are transmitted from molecule to molecule through the membrane on the polymer chain and expelled on the other side. The driving forces are the differences in humidity and temperature between the atmospheres on each side of the film. The internal climate, next to the skin, is hot and humid because the body is generating heat and moisture as it exercises. The external climate is much drier and cooler. Consequently water vapour is driven from the inside of the garment to the outside. As the foot gets hotter during an activity, so the film becomes more efficient at expelling moisture. Testing, testing.. SealSkinz® know that riders need confidence in their equipment, that is why every single SealSkinz® product is tested before it leaves the factory, with the sock or glove mounted onto a machine which subjects it to water pressure. If any product leaks, the item is rejected and diced. Every SealSkinz® product is therefore guaranteed to be 100% waterproof. The waterproof film can withstand 10psi of hydrostatic head pressure, the equivalent of a column of water 700cm high standing on the fabric surface. This is 7 times the level required to meet European Standards for waterproof clothing. If you have bought this product, why not write a review and help other riders to make an informed choice.

This is my second pair of sealskinz socks and they're really great - well worth the money. Don't expect them to last forever, though. My previous pair stopped keeping the water out after about a year of pretty hard use. Obviously I thought it was worth buying another pair.

"If there was a 4.5 I would award that, and my only reason for not ratnig 5 stars is that I have made only a few transactions, but each time has been excellent, and the one time the item was not to my liking the return was immediate and hassle free. I like their selections,..." read more >
